about

Released in 1992 from the album
“The Future “ this is one of my favourites.

lyrics

ANTHEM
The birds they sang, At the break of day
Start again, I heard them say
Don't dwell on what, Has passed away
Or what is yet to be,

Yeah the wars, they will Be fought again,
The holy dove, She will be caught again,
Bought and sold, And bought again,
The dove is never free

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

We asked for signs, The signs were sent
The birth betrayed, And the marriage spent
Yeah all of the widowhood, Of every government
Signs for all to see

I can't run no more, With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places, Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned up
They've summoned up A thundercloud
And they're going to hear from me
CHORUS

You can add up the parts,You won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,There is no drum
Every heart, every heart to love will come
But like a refugee
CHORUS
